Out of the Ether: Kerry Laitala

Out of the Ether: Kerry Laitala

Followed by live discussion with the artist

Working across film, performance, sculpture, and photography, artist and media archeologist Kerry Laitala creates spectral images that bring the past into a haunted present. Laitala enlivens images of Victorian stereoscopy, whirling paracinematic wonders, and scientific illustration with color and flickering abstraction, making visible and harmonious both the symbolic and chemical languages of cinema.
